 Mackrel, but somewhat smaller, and is occasionally

Scomber Japonicus. S. ccerukscens, pinnulis quinquc spuriis. 



Lin. GmeL Houttuyn Act. Haarl. 2O. 

 Blueish Mackrel, with five spurious fins. 



THIS also is so nearly allied to the common Mack- 

 tel, that it may be doubted whether it be a truly 

 distinct species. It is said to be about eight inches 

 long; shaped like a Herring, with silvery head, 

 small scales, and ciliated or denticulated mandibles. 

 Native of the Japanese sea.
